It has long been known that a cocaine dealer’s phone number was found on Knox’s cell phone shortly after the murder. Now sources reveal that Knox called this cocaine dealer numerous times in the days leading up to the murder and the days following Meredith’s demise.

Knox’s co-defendant and ex-partner, Raffaele Sollecito has always claimed that he and Knox did nothing but smoke a little marijuana or hashish. However, this newly released information proves otherwise.

A source close to Knox also provided detailed bank statement information. The statements show that Knox withdrew excessive amounts of cash from ATMs in the two months prior to her roommate’s death on November 1, 2007. In the month of September 2007, Amanda withdrew $2,452.60 and in October she took out $1,637.25 in cash. Amanda’s rent was only $400 per month. The amount she withdrew far exceeds the cost of living expenses; instead they provide proof, along with cell phone records, of a potentially expensive drug habit.

Not only did Knox ostensibly spend thousands of dollars on cocaine but she also apparently used sex to pay for her habit. This leads to speculation about how Raffaele who, by all reports, was besotted by the Seattle blonde, would react to finding out that his new girlfriend was fooling around with a drug dealer.

This new information regarding Amanda Knox’s cocaine use is the second blow to Amanda Knox. Her ex-partner Raffaele Sollecito gave a press conference on July 1, 2014 where he took away Amanda Knox’s alibi. Raffaele now stands by the assertion that Amanda Knox went out without him the night of the murder, while he stayed home, alone. Where did Amanda go that evening? Was she meeting her cocaine dealer? Did Meredith walk in on her and her dealer having sex? Did Meredith threaten to tell Raffaele? Did this provoke Knox in a cocaine rage to attack and kill Meredith? This and many more questions still linger about what really happened the night Meredith Kercher’s screams and death shook Perugia.
